The police station located at Trademore Housing Estate, near Ubani Ibeku modern market in Umuahia North local government area was burnt down at about 11.00am on Sunday.

The news of the attack caused pandemonium in the capital city with several churches ending their services abruptly to enable members scamper to their homes for safety.

It was the first time a police station had been targeted within the capital city though no fewer than four police stations had been razed since this year.

The targeted police station located along Umuahia-Uzuakoli highway was apparently a soft target for the hoodlums given its isolated location. Watch Video:
